Bill Priddle - Treble Charger

Post by Lando »

I only read about it now... I guess Bill Priddle left Treble Charger in September. Kinda sucks, I've been a fan for a long time.

Yeah...I heard about that on Much News.
I do have a few of their albums and now with the american record deal and Bill gone, I can see these guys really getting more pop oriented. Which is dissappointing.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

yeah he was always the less punk one in the group, it's weird because origanally he was the singer and Greg was just the guitarist

Yep, I liked their Indie rock sound better, but I still love Wide Awake Bored, it's a good album and their newest one is alright, but it's headed in the wrong direction.

Bill left? Whoa, this is news to me! That totally reeks. I could see that Treble Charger has been trying to be more punk-pop the last few years and Bill was the one who balanced them out to sound a little more unique. If it weren't for him, songs like "Don't Believe It All" probably wouldn't have made it into Detox.

It's a good thing I caught him live before he left. I still like Treble Charger and I actually started noticing them when "Brand New Low" and "American Psycho" were released but if Bill leaving means more songs like "Hundred Million"... :neutral:
And if I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
What's wrong
